📥 INSTALLATION

1. Download the ZIP file
2. In Blender: Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install
3. Select the downloaded ZIP file
4. Enable "Loop Noise Generator V1.5"
5. Find the panel: View3D Sidebar (N key) → LoopNoise tab

⚡ QUICK START

1. Select an object or enter Pose Mode and select bone(s)
2. Open the LoopNoise panel in the sidebar
3. Click X, Y, or Z button to enable a channel
4. Adjust Strength, Speed, Seed parameters
5. Play the animation to preview
6. Click "Bake" to convert to keyframes when ready

🎛️ PARAMETERS

• Strength — Animation intensity (amplitude)
• Speed — Animation frequency
• Seed — Unique pattern variation (different seed = different motion)
• Roughness — High-frequency detail/jitter
• Phase — Shifts the noise pattern
• Offset — Time offset in frames
• Noise Type — Perlin, Simplex, or Voronoi

🌐 GLOBAL SETTINGS

• Global Speed/Strength/Roughness/Offset — Multipliers affecting all channels
• Transition Frames — Crossfade length for seamless loops
• Easing Type — 11 options for loop transition smoothness
• Frame Range Mode — Timeline, Action, or Custom

🦴 DYNAMIC CHAIN MODE

For armature bones only. Enables hierarchical animation:

• Enable on parent bone to animate all descendants automatically
• Chain Offset Delay — Progressive time offset down the hierarchy
• Perfect for tails, tentacles, chains, spines

🎲 RANDOMIZATION MODES

• Click — Individual values for each target
• Shift+Click — Synchronized values (same on all targets)
• Shift+Ctrl+Click — Copy from active to all selected

✏️ MULTI-SELECTION EDITING

• Select multiple bones or objects to edit simultaneously
• Red indicators show mixed values across selection
• Copy/Paste/Reset/Randomize work on entire selection

🔄 QUATERNION TO EULER

• Rotation noise requires Euler rotation mode
• Warning appears for Quaternion bones
• One-click "Convert to Euler" button
• Preserves existing animation

💾 BAKING

• Bake — Convert current target to keyframes
• Bake Armature — Bake all bones with noise enabled
• Drivers are removed and settings reset after baking

📁 PRESETS

• Save and load configurations
• Global presets (all settings), Section presets, Settings presets
• Share presets between projects

💡 TIPS

• Use different Seed values per channel to avoid synchronized movement
• Increase Transition Frames for smoother loop points
• Click "Reset Drivers" if animation stops working
• Settings are saved per-action — switch actions to see different configs
